I'll be there Sunday hoping for the best but, I'm expecting a blow out. Peppers gonna have a field day.

Only if they line him up at LE the whole game or the LG/Gabbert troll Monroe.

Sadly, on 3rd down, they put him as the UT...we effed.

He's actually played NT and RE as well...Marinelli just puts him where the best matchup is for that particular play, his listed possition might as well be DL.

The thing is its not just Peppers. It's the whole rotation. The Bears are relentless. Everybody stays fresh and its not like the downs w/ Shea and Wootton are let up downs. The biggest thing I see is that there is no place for a QB to step up into b/c of the pressure coming from the middle._________________2013 Bears Forum Mike Ditka Award Winner

Oh I know, I fully expect Peppers/Melton/Shea to have 10 sacks._________________

I remember before the draft though, a lot of people were down on Jeffrey. I watched him play in college a lot and I was hoping we'd draft him because if you watched him, the dude is a baller. Combine be damned, Alshon dominated the SEC like Blackmon dominated the Big 12.

Not saying I'd take him over Blackmon, but it would have been nice to have both.. _________________

Yeah, it makes you think about the possibilities.

I was all in favour of finding a way to trade back and take Jeffery and someone else in the 2nd as well.

But obviously, it didn't work out that way, and it might just take some time for Blackmon to really show his value. He started to look like the prospect we thought he was last week...hopefully he can build on this.

I think in the plays Superman is thinking of, there was a hand in there from the defender but Alshon still had a chance at the ball and probably should've caught it anyway. Usually those drops stats are for balls that are right in the hands without the defender's hand near the ball.
